Great hotel, but pricey

Hotel was great. Stayed for almost a week and rooms were clean and a good size. Close to amenities and walking trails. Good pool, water slide, laundry…Great breakfast provided and handy having kids eat free at the restaurant for dinner. Only concern was the construction occurring during the day. It was very loud so son could not nap, etc.
